You try an earlier version. I found 3.2 was pretty good.

Whatever you decide it really is versions from this kinda period you should be looking at.

Its got a CD reader and floppy disk as well.I got a copy of PCLinuxOS from the web, and a copy of Mandriva on LXF June.Sadly, neither of them are small enough, and install fails due to lack of memory.Is there a small (DSL?) distro which is plug-and-play? I am an ignoramus newbie, so I dont have the expertise to chop bits out of standard distros to make it fit.My ultimate project is to create a Carputer - touch screen, all the bits.Thanks in advance.
